Welcome to the third installment of Ambassadors Say! At St. Jerome's, we understand that you're probably a little bit nervous to start university, even if you're not willing to admit it. We know because we've been in your shoes.

That's why we wanted to share our expertise with you! Now that we all have almost one (or two) years of university completed, we've all learned a lot - about school, about ourselves, and about the SJU community that we're proud to call our home away from home.

Our hope is that with our advice and stories, you'll feel better equipped to tackle university and become an integral part of the St. Jerome's community, just as our Ambassadors have done this year. Consider it our gift to you. Today's question tackles food. Are you hungry? Let's go!

Mel's. I mean, our cafeteria is great, but when it's my choice, I automatically turn to Mel's Diner in the University Plaza. As this place is known for their awesome milkshakes, I usually just walk in and ask them to surprise me with a new flavour each time. – Krystle

 

I love The Works in Uptown! There are so many kinds of burger combinations. I try to get a different burger each time. – Sarah S.

Not so much a meal place, but Sweet Dreams Tea Shop is right next to campus and has (in my opinion) the best bubble tea around! – Matteo

You can buy great sushi in the SLC – and it’s only a two-minute walk from residence! – Cameron

 

I love the Yeti Café in Kitchener. It has a really funky atmosphere, cool music, and awesome breakfast/brunch. I usually order the cowgirl sandwich and a latte. – Lauren Pe.

 

Either Holy Guacamole for a chicken burrito or Famoso for a Quattro Formaggi pizza. –Sarah D.

 

City Café Bakery. They make the best chicken pesto pizza. – Josée-Claire

Cafe 22 has really awesome hot chocolate and cookies. – Clarke

 

My favourite off-campus place to eat is Morty's Pub. Monday and Thursday nights are wing nights! I order the Sweet Chili Thai wings. Any sushi place comes in close second to that.-Sadé

 

Burger King! You'll appreciate their 10 nuggets for $2 too once you get here  – Luke
